Why does smoke calm bees?

1 Answer
ANSWER

Smoke masks alarm pheromones which include various chemicals, e.g., isopentyl acetate that are released by guard bees or bees that are injured during a beekeeper's inspection. The smoke creates an opportunity for the beekeeper to work while the colony's defensive response is interrupted.
